Welcome to 'Container House Inspirations' where we will discover and explore all about shipping containers and building houses and sheds etc.

My family have built a shipping container house recently so we certainly have the experience and sure learnt a lot along the way. We are excited to share that experience with you.

I think the hardest bit is usually designing the floor plan, how many containers etc. We fortunately found that one fairly easy my husband decided to make it similiar to a 'Queenslander' house with large verandah. Using a square of containers and the central area is the living room. We had to have 1 metre stumps because we were near the river so the height was decided for us by the local council.

There is a lot of information on the internet about building shipping container houses that is just not true. It usually written by people who have absolutely no idea and no experience with containers, unfortunately plenty of people believe it. As best I can I will
